My older brother used to have a old Mini which I drove and I have also driven the new one.
They are both like driving a cart, the old one even more, but both very precise but very uncomfortable.
I'll stick to real BMW's.

when was the last time you had a comfortable cart
If it was comfortable, then it would not be 100% good to drive every day.
Just like my smart 42 it is woest than the mini, infact its got to be the most uncomfortable car on the planet, but it still fun to own.

Well after 6 weeks in my Mini"S" (loaner) I can say it's reasonably comfortable, quick and nimble but never a car for a long drive on the freeway as it still seems a bit TOO small and lightweight to be safe! 
I've also figured out recently that the car is the automotive equivalent of a Jack Russell Terrier.....fast, nimble, it scares NOBODY, and is awfully cute!
